1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:02,920
Speaker 1: Thanks, Mike Clane. You got off to a good start

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 1: against Utah and not the finish that you wanted a

3
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 1: couple of nights ago. Just take us through your thoughts

4
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 1: in that game.

5
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:10,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, our start was our start was good, and you know,

6
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:12,640
Speaker 2: it sort of reminded me of the Nashville game when

7
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 2: we were home here. We you know, we score a

8
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,120
Speaker 2: goal to go up three to one, gets just allowed,

9
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 2: you know, and we just right now whether it be

10
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 2: a save or two we need or you know, our

11
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 2: penalty goils been very good, but it wasn't the other night,

12
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,160
Speaker 2: you know, and then power play's got to be better.

13
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:36,840
Speaker 2: So it's disappointing in the sense that you know it's

14
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 2: there and there, and it's there for at least half

15
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,879
Speaker 2: the game, and then all of a sudden, you know,

16
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 2: it's just kind of like an implosion, and so, you know,

17
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:47,200
Speaker 2: extremely disappointing from that standpoint.

18
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 1: It seemed like everything that could go wrong in that

19
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: game unfortunately didn't go wrong. You have the two challenges,

20
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 1: you have the two double minors. You mentioned all the opportunity.

21
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 1: How do you keep when when when you're almost at

22
00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: the top of that mountain you get pushed back down?

23
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: How do you keep that vibe and that energy high

24
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 1: on the bench after a lot of that adversity.

25
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,400
Speaker 2: Well, there's you know, it's it's there's nothing you can do.

26
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 2: It's you know, how you deal with a diversity that

27
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 2: defines you really, you know, and the double minors they

28
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 2: certainly don't help. You know, they've got a good power play.

29
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,119
Speaker 2: Their power play has been humming for a while here

30
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 2: since the break. So we didn't do ourselves any favors there.

31
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 2: We've got to be more you know, cognizant with our

32
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,559
Speaker 2: hockey sticks, you know. But you know, the disallowed goals,

33
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 2: all those things. You know, all you can do is

34
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 2: just keep keep pushing. And I thought that, you know,

35
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 2: when we did go three one and they disallowed the goal.

36
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 2: You know, they scored and it was two two, But

37
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 2: we had plenty of opportunities to score and make it

38
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 2: three two. You know, it wasn't like we were you know,

39
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 2: it wasn't like we were in disarray or anything like that.

40
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 2: You know, we come out at the start of the

41
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 2: third period and you know, next thing, you know, it's

42
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 2: four two, and you know we just right now we're

43
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 2: just having a little bit of trouble. I guess rebounding

44
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 2: from those situations.

45
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: And we heard Jordan Eberley after the game. He had

46
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: some pretty pointed comments for the group that players had

47
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: a players only meeting. Obviously we don't know what was

48
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: said in that meeting, but what do you hope was

49
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 1: said and the message that got across to the group?

50
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,519
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, you know, it's it's good that they

51
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 2: spoke among themselves. I'm pretty sure that a lot of

52
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 2: the messaging and a lot of the message that they

53
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 2: had for each other was the exact same message that

54
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 2: I'm giving them, you know, in terms of you know,

55
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 2: we we've got now eight games left or four points out,

56
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 2: you know, And like we talked about yesterday as a group,

57
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 2: you know, it's your mindset and what your perception of

58
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 2: the situation you're in is, you know, And if you

59
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 2: feel like you're in a tough spot, then you are.

60
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 2: If you feel like you're in a spot of opportunity,

61
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 2: then you are. Now, of course, we don't love what

62
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 2: we've done since the break to put us in this position,

63
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 2: but regardless, we're in this position. So what's happened in

64
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 2: the past passed and we've got to move forward here.

65
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 2: And yeah, I know I keep saying that, and you know,

66
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 2: that's got to be the focus for us right now.

67
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: Chicago, they're a team that, you know, out of the playoffs,

68
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: but they're still a very young team. They've got a

69
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: lot of talent on that roster. What challenges do they

70
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: present to your group tonight?

71
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, like you said, they're young, they're talented, they

72
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 2: have speed, and they're not in the playoffs, so they're

73
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 2: playing no pressure hockey game and a lot of times

74
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 2: when you see that, you look at the you know,

75
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 2: a team like the New York Rangers right now that

76
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 2: are playing well, you know, they've been out of the

77
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 2: playoffs for a while. So this tends to happen with

78
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 2: teams that are in the situations. They're a very dangerous

79
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 2: hockey team to play against because of that. You know,

80
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 2: for us, the meaningful games are extremely important for us.

81
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 2: We've talked about that from day one for a number

82
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 2: of different reasons. So I'm looking forward to this game tonight.

83
00:03:58,160 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 2: See where we go from here.
